The RIGHT Way to Install Nvidia Drivers on Ubuntu | Latest Nvidia Proprietary Driver Linux
Installing wrong drivers may introduce an issue like login loop, blank screen, glitches, random freeze, or poor performance. But when you know how to get it right, everything will be much easier.
Gaming on Linux Performance With AMD
NVIDIA X Server settings missing options
OBS Studio Won’t Capture Games on Linux
Rise of The Tomb Raider Gameplay on Linux
Enable USB Support On Oracle Virtualbox
FYI, Ubuntu comes with the open source Nouveau driver, which is included out of the box. However, this driver not properly support the graphics card’s functionality, especially on newer hardware. In my experience, it perform worse.
And in a few cases, the system would not boot. If you are a gamer, need to work with 3D graphics, or video editing, NVIDIA proprietary driver is definitely a must have thing to get better performance.
There are 3 ways to install latest GPU card driver. First, you can use Graphical User Interface (GUI). The other ways is done from the Command Line Interface (CLI) by adding Proprietary GPU Drivers PPA, or download and install NVIDIA .run driver for Linux manually.
You can use this guide to install or update NVIDIA graphics drivers on Ubuntu and its flavors (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu) or any popular Ubuntu based distributions like Linux Mint, Elementary, KDE Neon, Zorin, Pop!_OS.

Please note that Nvidia doesn’t play nice with Wayland in some circumstances, so stick with Xorg for generally problem-free is better choice I think.
Also, suspend / resume / hibernate is quite buggy and sometimes it’s not working at all. Everytime I suspend, my computer is stuck with a black screen (monitor not receiving signal) upon trying to wake up. Solved by I don’t care :p
For notebook or optimus laptop users, you can switch between integrated and discrete card by running “sudo prime-select intel” or “sudo prime-select nvidia”, from Terminal, without quotation mark of course then log out and log back in to apply the changes.

By this video I understood that I can install instead of 340 which is officially the last driver for my card, even 510 driver??
The first time it worked, the second they were missing features from the Nvidia settings app.
Using gt730 and ubuntu 24.04 but additional driver tab not showing any driver and using repository but install package error found. What do I don't know I spent 3 days but successful.
It worked. Thank you brother!
Terima kasih banyak. Videonya sangat membantu!
Really good video. Thankyou
Muchas gracias
Hi nvidiq says thai i should install the 550 driver (i have a rtx 360) but I had only the 445 in the software and updates… What do i have to do?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
After you add the repo, the current driver (recommended from Nvidia site) should show up under the "Additional Drivers" gui/app. It showed up on mine. Version 550 for gtx 1060 6gb, Ubuntu 23.10/Wayland. I was getting errors on startup/shutdown with 535 proprietary/tested drivers. Linux and NVIDIA seem to need more tinkering than AMD gpus.
Just built a gaming PC and it technically is my first Rig, I’ve owned many other laptops that had GPU’s and never had an issue with Linux drivers. After trying to convince myself I really really do not want windows I ended up finding this gem. Not only is my GPU bangin games out now, I think I’ll learn how to apply this elsewhere. Thanks! Linux for life!
Am in love with you😂😂😂😂
How does the repository know the different nvidia hardware based off of a 3 digit number! This appears to be working but that is rather something 😁
confident setup, thank you
The last installation actually installed version 470, not 510, which you seemed to want. Why?
My issue after installation in Ubuntu 18.04 is that I'm doing it remotely and after updating the driver there are xorg conflicts that result in a black screen when I try to log in with teamviewer.
Thank you! 🙂
Does anyone know how to install GeForce Experience on Linux Mint?
i cant choose other drivers from list. does anyone have a solution for this? 🙁
The control panel on Linux sucks. 0 options.
Going to BIOS and disabling secure boot did it for me. Thanks for the video!
Damn, thought my system was a goner when the graphics driver just messed things up
Thankfully, this video saved me for the second time!!
thanks a lot man. iwas stuck in this since
hours
thank you this worked very well
Thanks a lot for uploading this video. This really helped
Running this, fingers crossed
my screen is freezing
Ay this works! Thank you so much!
Thanks, Helped me alot with this!
Came here since I’m wondering if I should go with the nvidia provided Linux driver vs a Linux distro that already comes with the nvidia driver like pop!_os.
for some reason the same driver from the list failed to install and crashed it, did safe boot, restore and manual manual steps of your video and worked fine, thanks!
Thanks gonna try this on my old amd 1600 system were gonna use as a steam server host build. 🙂
Thank You Very Much!
